On this week’s podcast, Miranda Prynne quizzes THE’s Asia-Pacific editor John Ross about Serd’s key recommendations and the likelihood of such transformative – and expensive&nbsp;– changes to the funding and management of Australian research being enacted.
Hear John explain the thinking behind this review and the problems it sets out to solve, as well as the areas of greatest concern for academics and policymakers&nbsp;and the general sentiment across Australian higher education today.
